Description

Welcome to The Confident Parent podcast where we discuss how to escape the burnout cycle and survival mode. I teach you how to build a baseline of regulation in a way that makes sense and finally understand how to work with your nervous system. Let's talk about the beauty and hardships of motherhood. It's time to take responsibility and start creating better daily habits to combat the never-ending stimulation that comes with parenting. As an experienced occupational therapist and coach, I guide women on a journey using a holistic approach, addressing all parts of ourselves—even the unconscious parts we try to ignore.
